When a “Friendly Match” stops being friendly

During a “friendly” match between team Canada and team Italy which occurred over the weekend, turned into a mini-brawl which pretty much sent most of the players into a scrum in the middle of the court.

The culprit was Italian forward Stefano Marcinelli for hitting Canada’s Aaron DoorneKamp in the back of the head. The cheap shot occurred away from the play and well, you can figure out the rest that happened after it.

Current Toronto Raptors Marco Belinelli and Andrea Bagnani who were playing the game escaped injury by getting in the middle of the fight.

One thing I will say though, if you would have told me that a fight occurred between Team Canada and Team Italy, I would have called you crazy.
